Best not to grow your own unless you can contain it, horseradish is
very invasive... you can bury a five foot length of clay chimney flue
and plant it in that. It's a lot easier to buy a piece of horseradish
root and grate it yourself... my grandmother would grate horseradish
on the outside window ledge with the window sash pulled down to her
wrists... the fumes of fresh grated horseradish are very potent.
